    GODDAMNIT! Thats exactly why you created your own religion, to answer the fucking questions that you are now failing to answer. Seriously, this is on the top 10 list of most idiotic things I've ever heard in my life. I don't throw that around lightly.

    I'm sorry, but you're consistently failing to not contradict yourself at every turn.

    I'm wanting to say "Cool down bro" but that didn't work out very well when I tried it last time...

    But doesn't Atheism require faith as we don't 'know' per say that the Universe was created by a scientific anomily rather than a God(s)?

    In otherwords, Atheism is a paradox that states you need proof to justify something but has little-to-no proof to justify its own points(ie. Creation of the Universe, which is the main point I'm refering to).

    Not to say I'm Agnostic, Agnosticism might as well just be Atheism. It's merely watered down.

    You can't prove he doesn't exist. You can only prove that he doesn't do anything, so what's the point of acknowledging his existence.

    Atheism doesn't subscribe to any scientific doctrine. Its merely a lack of belief in a god. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with scientific explanations for the creation of the universe.

    Yeah, that's why there were Carvaka atheists in India and "Cults of Reason" during the French revolution.

    Belief in god is irrational and atheism is rational. Atheism is default whereas belief in god isn't. Therefore it is belief in god which has to be defended not atheism.

    If God was real, surely God wouldn't have something as primal as gender...

    God could just be a giant galaxy for all we know.

    Except galaxies aren't sentient. You're just being silly at this point, man.

    I think its a reference to futurama god/galaxy. Probably a joke. Hopefully.

    Judging by his earlier posts, I think he's being serious.

    He's saying god doesn't have a penis. Which is utterly ridiculous, I mean only men can rule, amirite?

    I wasn't being fully serious. But I seriously doubt an all mighty being requires any sex.
